This book is a valuable tool for the reader, as we are all intertwined with organizations in one form or another. Numerous other disciplines besides sociology are addressed in this book, including economics, political science, strategy and management theory. Topic areas discussed in this book are the importance of organizations; defining organizations; organizations as rational, natural, and open systems; environments, strategies, and structures of organizations; and organizations and society. For those employed in fields where knowledge of organizational theory is necessary, including sociology, anthropology, cognitive psychology, industrial engineering, managers in corporations and international business, and business strategists. Review: Become a (sorta)instant (sorta)expert on organizations! - Become a (sorta)instant (sorta)expert on organizations! In one book! I came to this text with very little organizational theory background but this text really shored up that front of things. It's written concisely, if you have trained yourself to gloss over citations, of which there are many, but this is a graduate level text so you better get used to citations. The text nicely borrows across the theoretical disciplines contributing to organizational theory: management, industrial psychology, sociology, etc. It's a textbook but it's almost like reading the primary texts because it directly refers to and compares different theories and empirical studies. Oh, and I took the course with Davis himself, really fun guy, his humor does show through in some portions of text. Review: This is one of my top shelf books with chapters tabbed.. - Easy to read and real must to have in order to quote from and ensure you get your ideas across using the foundations that have been set. We are living in world that is turning on a dime. I was the one of the first National Guard Aviators that had a Cell phone, and took it to the field. When the communications when down, and the Division commander needed to talk to the CORPS commander, the CS came to me and said Jay need your help. and our German officer who had just arrived and was put in the field needed to check on his wife back home we linked him up right there in Area 75. North Ft Hood. We have come along way since 1990. Our kids look at rotary phone and ask where are the buttons? This book takes you through the progression of what you need to know and where it can be used. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #285,945 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #184 in Business Negotiating (Books) #517 in Workplace Culture (Books) #1,934 in Business Processes & Infrastructure | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 149 Reviews | ## Images ![Organizations and Organizing: Rational, Natural and Open System Perspectives - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714BBNIWkBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Become a (sorta)instant (sorta)expert on organizations! *by R***K on November 11, 2014* Become a (sorta)instant (sorta)expert on organizations!
